Rafting the river with our guide was awesome! The river was beautiful, we enjoyed the history of things on the river as well. Our kids 9 and 11 did great. Would recommend highly. Such a great experience. Thank you Ashton and Mild to Wild!

Perfect trip if you want to enjoy rafting with mild rapids and relaxing drifting. There was enough excitement for my 7 year old without me worrying about his safety. Our guide James engaged my son and made sure he felt part of the experience. Loved it and would recommend it to friends.

Don was an amazing guide who made our trip extra fun. He interacted with the children, shared great knowledge about the area’s history, and was experienced with paddling.
